Ben Collins: Solo6x10: Recording from video

I've finally gotten around to writing an example program for recording from Solo6x10 devices to a file. This program is very basic. It leaves the video device in it's default state (resolution, frame rate, etc). So you can modify those settings separately, and then use this program to record at those settings.

I also did not put motion detection examples in this, mainly because I have not satisfied my desire to create a decent API in v4l2 yet for that that.

Next step, I will add sound recording into this.

You can find the example source here.

To compile it, run:

gcc -lavformat bc-record.c -o bc-record

Execute it with a single command line option, the device for a solo6x10 encoder (e.g. /dev/video1). It will record until you hit ^C.

Happy recording!
